Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The piece by an unknown artist depicts a rectangular piece of fabric with a woven design in shades of brown on a lighter background. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with a rough texture and frayed edges. The woven design features various shapes, including rounded forms. A white label with black text reading "20.148.15" is affixed to the bottom right corner of the fabric. The background of the image is a light-colored surface, possibly paper or cardboard, with some darker marks and stains visible around the edges of the fabric.
